I am in the horror game, scrambling to steal the male lead's halo

Chapter 578 Don’t Get Excited

Qi Chuzhao lifted up the hem of Zhou Zhaozhao's clothes, revealing her waist.

The waist is clean and white, with nothing on it.

Gu Chaoxi helped him put on his shoes again, and when he turned his head, he saw Shen Lan checking Zhou Zhaozhao's pockets.

There were two pockets on the shirt and two pockets on the trousers, but apparently nothing was in them.

There didn't seem to be anything unusual around the tent.

Violet, on the other hand, focused on Zhou Zhaozhao's scalp. She squatted on the side of his head, looking at him carefully with her eyes narrowed.

Gu Chaoxi walked over, bent down, and looked in the direction he was looking.

After a while, Violet raised her hand and pointed to the top of her head: “Look here.”

"Hmm?" She moved closer and looked carefully. There seemed to be some debris in her hair?

Zhou Zhaozhao’s hair is not particularly short, so it is possible that something is hidden in it.

She reached out and carefully pulled apart Zhou Zhaozhao's hair, and a tiny piece of debris fell off.

Fortunately, Violet reached out and caught it.

It was a tiny, dark brown thing that looked like it had fallen off some kind of stone.

There seemed to be a little blood on it.

From this perspective, it seems that Zhou Zhaozhao was attacked from behind and then slipped and fell into the river.

Did he drown because he was not clear-headed and had no strength?

It is reasonable, but who would target a child?

Unless Zhou Zhaozhao didn't tell them the truth yesterday.

Pei Yan came over, and Gu Zhaoxi looked at him from the side: "What Zhou Zhaozhao said to us yesterday might have been concealed."

There must be something that Zhou Zhaozhao still kept hidden in her heart and didn't say it out even after taking them to the cave.

Otherwise, how could it be such a coincidence that something happened to Zhou Zhaozhao last night.

"Go out first and ask Zhou Zhaozhao's family later." She raised her hand and placed it on Pei Yan's arm, glanced towards the yard, and her eyes finally fell on the edge of the courtyard wall.

Shen Yao couldn't delay for too long. There was nothing going on in the village that was worth them staying outside.

What's more, these days we have to prepare offerings for the Dragon God sacrifice.

"Let's go." The crowd went towards the courtyard wall in small groups.

Shen Lan looked around. The yard was mostly planted with vegetables. There were no fruit trees or poultry.

It’s really strange, with such a big yard and a boy at home, why don’t they raise poultry?

However, this seems to have nothing to do with Zhou Zhaozhao's death.

She shook her head and continued to follow the team.

Luo Zijia turned around to look at her who looked a little sad, and leaned close to her, somewhat confused.

"what happened to you?"

"Oh, it's okay." It's not a big deal, so I'd better not say it out loud to avoid distracting attention.

So she raised her hand and patted Luo Zijia's arm: "It's nothing, I just feel a little uncomfortable with the atmosphere here."

Luo Zijia glanced around and nodded in agreement.

It was very quiet around here, and there was a so-called corpse lying there. To some extent, it was indeed a bit scary.

She didn't dare look back, but just followed Qi Chuzhao's steps in front of her, quickly reached the edge of the courtyard wall, and climbed out with their help.

As soon as he came out of Zhou Zhaozhao's yard, Luo Zijia felt that the air around him became comfortable.

Gu Chaoxi glanced in the direction of the gate and lowered his head to think.

After a while, he raised his head again and said, "I'll go check out the situation."

Judging from the sounds, Shen Yao and Zhou Zhaozhao's family members had returned from another direction.

Pei Yan immediately followed: "I'll go with you."

The others looked at each other and wanted to follow, but Qi Chuzhao stopped them with his hand.

"There are too many people. The three of them are enough. Too many people will only cause trouble."

Zhou Zhaozhao's family had just lost their child. If so many of them surrounded them, others would think they were looking for trouble.

Shen Lan nodded, thinking that what he said made some sense.

Violet looked at the tiny crumbs in her palm. She had been holding them there the whole time and hadn’t thrown them away.

After looking at it again and again, he lowered his head and put the crumbs into his clothes pocket.

When Gu Chaoxi and Pei Yan walked around the side, they happened to see Shen Yao and Zhou Zhaozhao's family members walking to the door.

A woman and a man who looked a little haggard.

However, this man looked to be in his late 40s. Perhaps he had to do too much farm work, which was really exhausting.

Seeing another person coming, the couple stopped at the door for a moment, somewhat puzzled.

Shen Yao glanced at them, but didn't say anything. Instead, he smiled at the couple and said, "Thank you so much for what you did just now."

The man frowned slightly, but a smile still appeared on his lips: "It's okay, we are all from the same village, it's only natural to help."

As he spoke, his gaze once again turned to Gu Chaoxi and Pei Yan who were walking over.

Taking a deep breath, Gu Chaoxi was thinking about how to talk to the couple in a way that would appear a little more normal.

Sighing, she looked at Pei Yan.

I kind of forgot the words.

Pei Yan pursed his lips and sighed, then spoke carefully: "We came here mainly to ask about Zhou Zhaozhao's situation."

As soon as these words came out, the woman couldn't help crying anymore and was about to sob. Gu Chaoxi quickly raised her hand.

"Don't get excited." She pressed her hand and slowly moved closer, trying to calm the woman down.

Shen Yao took a look and raised his hand to support the woman's shaky figure.

"Auntie, don't get excited yet, let's go in and talk."

The man seemed to know something. He nodded and looked at the woman helplessly.

"Come in, everyone, don't stand at the door."

After entering the house, the man moved some chairs for a few people to sit down, and then looked towards the backyard with some worry.

Gu Chaoxi sat down on the chair and watched Shen Yao help the woman sit down. Then he pursed his lips and thought about what he wanted to ask just now.

"Zhou Zhaozhao had been staying at home before the accident. Why did she go out last night?"

When Zhou Zhaozhao called her yesterday, she even climbed over the wall. This means that his parents did not agree with him going out.

But why did he go to the river at night.

Hearing this, the woman seemed even sadder and turned her head away and covered her face with her hands.

The man, on the other hand, although looked very sad, was still able to speak firmly.

He recalled and shook his head: "Zhao Zhao said before that he thought the Dragon God was fake and he knew some secrets of the village."

"If other people heard this kind of thing, it would be terrible. We have no choice but to lock Zhaozhao up at home as the sacrifice is approaching and not let him run around."

This is why Zhou Zhaozhao wanted to climb over the wall to get out.
